MODL Supports Joint Transportation Committee

Four municipalities are planning to work together to explore transportation options for their residents. Council members from the towns of Bridgewater, Mahone Bay, Lunenburg and the District of Lunenburg have created a Joint Transportation Committee. The group will work on establishing dial-a-ride services that could have a route for broader community outreach. Mayor Don Downe says it's still early in the process and things will have to be determined.



The service is considered to have the most potential for long-term sustainability under current government-funding programs. The committee is planning to seek funding from Service Nova Scotia and Municipal Relations to carry out its work.
